Next up in Indiana is a two day CCO! August 4th is the Country Inn and Suites
CCO with proceeds going to the Decatur Township Education Foundation. August 5th
is the Indiana Pepper Pod, Pod Cookoff and annual meeting. Both cookoffs will be
held at the Country Inn and Suites located 5630 Flight School Dr. We will also
be holding our Pod Officer elections on the 5th at our Pod Cookoff. The Country Inn and Suites are offering discounted rooms, just give them a call
(317-821-1100) and let them know you are in for the cookoff, to receive the
$79.00 rate. Hope to see ya there!
NOTE: Thanks to all the Pods who have sent in their Annual Credential Report already. I have 15. Remember that August 15 is the deadline. Also, remember that all Pod Officers (Great Pepper, Pepper Popper, Secretary, Treasure, and all Referees) must have their dues paid to September 30, 2013.
On that same note, if your delegate or other CASI members are planning on attending the Great Pepper's Meeting in Dallas, on September7 and 8, and have not sent in your registration, please do so. This will allow for planning of the events. You can find the Registration Form on the Web Page (www.chili.org) in the Resource Center.
Friday is going to be a full day of events. It will start with a quick CASI Board of Directors meeting. There will then be some breakout sessions. Again this year we plan to have a session on Monitoring and Refereeing. There will also be a session on the plans for the CASI Museum, the Health Department Issues that many of the states are imposing upon our cooks and cookoffs, Candidates' Roundtable, Happy Hour and much more. Saturday will be the Great Pepper's Meeting.
If you have anything that you would like to have placed in the Great Peppers' material for this meeting, please send it to me as soon as possible.
You still have time to decide to run for a CASI Board of Directors' position. The nomination packages are also in the Resource Center. There are 4 Directors' positions and the Executive Director's position. The Scholarship Program Administrator Position will also be filled.
It's finally Friday and it is Summer. Time to get out and have a good time. Maybe this weekend you will get those last few points that your need! Have a GREAT weekend!
